Hello, i have a small question: the doc say that we can use server action from server component but what I don't understand is that mutations are generally initiated by client-side events (clicks, etc.), events that are not managed by the server component. So my question is this: in which case should client-side server actions be privileged from server-side actions, and above all, how do server-side actions work? thank you

to break server actions down to describe them as simple as possible: server actions are just easier api endpoints. The docs they, they are:
... asynchronous functions that are executed on the server.So yes, use them for mutations. Fetching data can still be handled serverside while loading a component
